Leading Change, Church Leadership Amid Turmoil is a new training DVD from Seraphim Communications.

From the Seraphim website:

Dr. Peter Steinke applies Systems Theory to the task of leadership, especially leadership during or for change. Change is the new constant and change creates anxiety and resistance. The functioning of leaders during this time is critical to the ability of the organization to maintain its commitment to its mission. Unlike so many theories, which neglect the human emotional processes of an organization, “Leading Change” teaches leaders to expect anxiety and sabotage but to stay calm and committed to advancing the mission. Change can stall the development of an organization through fear of the unknown but courageous leaders can call people to embrace a new adventure in meeting the latest challenge. This course would be very helpful for congregational leaders who are experiencing transitions, conflict, demographic or economic challenges. The “Leading Change” course equips leaders to respond to the expected anxiety in an organization facing change.
